Dividend - no thanks2 Feb 2023 12:35
These dividend shouts come up on some many boards. If you want a healthy dividend of circa 5-6% yield, then this is not the share. Would much rather cash for dividends put into future projects or operations to grow the business.
Also a reminder that if you were in this share in the COVID crash, you would have a 500-600% gain, even buying in the April of 2020 post the quick COVID bounceback, you would have a 300%. Pretty good over 3 years.
So talk of a dividend is in my view, ridiculous. Put it into a new project/venture/country or build put toward a new processing plant. Or do a share buyback. Then we'll see far better return than the odd 3p per share dividend. Those who invest in the US will see that very few companies pay dividends, and if they do they are not much more than 1.5%-2% yield. US investors would much rather see it invested into the company or used for buybacks.
